I'm Not much of a pro but just thought i'd give a little critique
Maybe use a bit less purple but all in all AMAZING piece
I would also suggest making the signs a bit brighter I also love how you made the scenery a bit darker it makes it a more calmer presence and a lot easier on the eyes. But anyways my point is it is awesome so keep up the awesome work you are making amazing art work again i'm not a big artist myself lol and my English is kinda bad so exuse me hah

This art doesn't even invite but directly involves the spectator inside itself. The street is welcoming, and the perspective creates a feeling that you are already walking down it... for how long, 5, 20 minutes, or the entire evening? You just let yourself dissolve in this atmosphere. The future is now but cozy and doesn't contradict the traditions. This is the reality you can live, work and relax in. What about me, I'd really like to walk to the end of this warm street and to lift to the highest floor of that building in the background.
And there's some synthwave aesthetics in your art as well. At least, the image 'plays' along the music I'm listening to now in a very natural way.


























Aside from the technical and aesthetic positives about this photograph, it evokes a wide breadth of emotions for me. Though I have no personal connections with this cityscape, you've made me feel as if I have. As with many of your other photographs, the aesthetic choices you make in your creative process result in so many charming details that really bring outsiders into your photographs and give them the desire to explore.
The warm cozy foreground and cool mysterious depths invite the viewer in and guide them along as far as they can go. Though there are so many colors involved - from bright red to hazy black - the subdued palette allow us to take in the smallest details of the photograph without single elements stealing the show. The perspective is one that's fairly common, but not always as effective as it is here. I'm enveloped by a sense of calm and wonder here, and am happy there's someone in the photograph to remind me that this place is real.
As with many of your other photographs, this piece speaks is so aesthetically pleasing I don't want to leave. The mood and emotions that this piece emanates are strong, mysterious, and pleasurable. I appreciate your use of lighting, color, and subject matter to create works that resonate with wonder.


























An interesting approach. Watching it somewhat reminds switching from my old phone to a new phone with better screen pixel density along with extra million of colors. Lots of vivid though vague and ambiguous colors. Rectangular lanterns of old style and modern lights make an interesting contrast. SO many details to look at:
- the bicycle left by someone
- the girl with her luggage
- the signs
- the menu cards on the diner
It feels like a whole world to watch. Lots of attention to details, in my opinion.
The shapes are great too.
Wishing all the best to the artist and adding to my watch list.
